Buffalo chicken bites is a fiery red hot chicken appetizer based on a very popular finger food called buffalo chicken wings which is one of the most loved bar food in USA.
My version of buffalo chicken is a low fat and a little healthy. In this recipe, bite size chicken pieces is mixed with spices, coated in whole wheat flour mixture and baked to golden perfection and finally coated with hot buffalo sauce. According to the authentic recipe of buffalo chicken wing, first the chicken wings are deep fried, then coated in the buffalo sauce. Now buffalo sauce is made with cayenne pepper and vinegar based hot sauce and melted butter. But I have tried to make this recipe a little diet friendly. First of all I have baked my chicken instead of deep frying and my sauce has extra virgin oil instead of butter. It is an easy, healthy and non messy version of buffalo chicken recipe without compromising its flavor.
Buffalo chicken bites is a spicy, tangy and very juicy, all because of its delicious buffalo sauce . The name “Buffalo sauce” comes the city named Buffalo of New York state and now a days this sauce is used in all types of food like in sandwiches, burgers or pizza.
